There was a huge amount of interest in the Drag Racing car upgrades in our previous post. We hope the setup info improved your game so that you could beat many opponents. However, as you’ve probably noticed, you need to buy the tuning pack to properly take advantage of your race machine…

[If you're keen to have an edge against your friends with a decent tuned car (and you don't have time to learn how), then 'like' us on Facebook where you'll be able to see all the upgrade settings and car tunes which we've shared in our comments so far.]

In this article we teach you how to tune your machine with a second gear launch start. (Don’t worry we’ll explain this later). But first you need to focus on getting your money and respect points.

I know I’ve explained this before, but I found out that actually the respect points aren’t that hard to get. There are two ways of pumping this up fast: 1) is to go and download the other promotional games and collect free respect points (don’t worry you can remove those games after you’ve gotten your respect points)… or 2) go into Race Online > Bet and Race with a fully tuned beast and then you’ll be laughing!

If money is what you’re lacking then you’ll want to go into Race Online > Pro League and go into the best level where you’re getting 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. Notice, I don’t just say the highest level outright, because this might not be where you’re winning the top places. (Remember you’re competing with the world here, so it’s no surprise that you may be outmatched). So if you’re not on the podium then you’ll probably earn more money and respect points in a lower category where you are on the podium. This is where there’s a slight discrepancy which you may be able to take advantage of. Look at the Upgrades page with the setups and you’ll notice that some cars are the top race vehicle for multiple levels. That means that there’s a slightly higher chance that the ultimate race drivers would upgrade …. say… their Lamborghini from a level 5 to a level 6. In otherwords your competition might just move up… leaving a slightly higher chance for you to rinse the newbies in level 5 with a Lambo.

Second Gear Launch Start

You can do this by pressing on the accelerator and sliding down to the gear tab. You don’t need to lift your thumb off the screen. The reason for doing this is because this requires less accuracy with your gear change from 1st to 2nd. Therefore it’ll drastically improve your launch consistency and reduce the chances of you losing points in the Pro League. Also, it’ll give you perfect launch starts which will increase your income…. And we like giving info and methods which are easy to replicate!

After doing a second gear launch start, you want to use the nitrous at the same time of your 3rd gear change.

Technically speaking though, if you’re using one less gear then you’re reducing your gear progression, and so you won’t be reaching the most ultimate times. Your lap finishes would be faster driving the normal way, but it needs a lot of practise to get the first gear change correct because you need to time the accelerator, and gear up at the correct rpm. But that doesn’t matter because we’re going to show you that you can at least be pretty darn good with one gear less!

Engine Logic

To understand the numbers fully, you’ll have to know that the game is modelled on a real engine. So you can goto these websites to understand how everything ties together with real engines. (HowStuffWorks, Wiki Page on Gear Ratios). Otherwise, here’s a quick overview of what we understand:

The gear ratios represent the amount of engine spinning we’re going to turn into wheel spins and it’s a reciprocal relationship. So if it’s a high number, then we’re going to get less wheel spins, but more Torque or Force. If it’s a low number, then we’re going to get a higher number of wheel spins and less torque (… less than 1 would be overdrive).

At the same time, Torque is related to acceleration… if you have greater Force, then the car will accelerate faster. This is where you start seeing some relationships form. You initially want to start the car with more force to accelerate hard, and eventually you want to overdrive to reach your top speed.

Generally the engines have some rpm ranges which are better for transitioning (like sweet spots), so you want to try and set the ratios so that the rpm between gears isn’t too drastic (and is near the sweet spot).

From a more practical standpoint, you’re only going to care about the gears relative to one another. So if you’re adjusting numbers between two gears and you bring the numbers closer together, then when you gear up, the resulting rpm would be higher and you would need to gear change earlier. If you increase the difference between the numbers, then when you gear up, the resulting rpm would be lower and your next gear change will be later. Try this yourself and make sure you keep an eye on the rpm once you’ve changed gear. Notice, that this rpm level all depends on the speed you’re going… therefore you should always start with the lower gears and perfect them before moving on to the higher gears.

The final drive is also a ratio but has a multiplier effect on the engine spins. It’s actually the most important figure and can affect everything else. This is the hardest to understand and the numbers here are the other way round. So if you have a high number, then your engine spins will be amplified more … we’re presuming that the torque would be less too and so you get slower acceleration. If you have a low number then you’ll have lower number of spins and a high torque which would enable higher acceleration. For this final drive you want a balance between amplification and torque, so you’ll generally be in the middle. To get an ultimate drive you’ll be tweaking this figure in the thousandths.

Overview

The rough flow you should follow is:

Set your Final Drive, First Gear and Second Gear figures for a 2nd gear launch start. Take note of the rpm and the amount of wheelspin.

Identify if you’re going for a quarter, half or mile long race.

The longer your race, the more important your top speed is, and therefore your highest gear ratio needs to be as low as possible.

If you’re in a short race, then your top speed may not even be reached and therefore the rpm for perfect transitioning is more important. In otherwords there may be very little time between the gear changes.

If in doubt, then just aim to tune so that the rpm is quite high between each gear change.

3rd gear is when you’re using the nitrous, so you need to understand the forces, and basically watch/listen for wheelspin.

Finish adjusting the remaining gears (4 – 6 or 7).

If you’re losing the long distance races, then read point 2), and reduce all numbers from 4th gear downwards.

If you were aiming to get a really fast time, then tweak your final drive first… i.e. the assumption is that the gears are in what you think are roughly the best setup for the current final drive amount. Then adjust your gears if you feel you can squeeze an inkling more ability out of them.

Tuning method for a second gear launch

Load up the car stock settings and set the Final Drive to 1.000

Then do a second gear launch in a test drive. Take note of where the red needle is on the rpm counter. This is where the needle will jump to when you gear up if your final drive wasn’t 1.000

Now change your 2nd gear and test drive until you get the red pointer is roughly where the red bar on the speedometer starts. (Engine details above help explain this… if the rpm is too low, then bring the numbers closer together. If the rpm is too high, then increase the difference between the two).

Now begin raising the final drive until you start getting some wheel spin. You can see the wheel spin from the lit up icon on your dashboard when you drive.

Now continue to raise the final drive, but keep an eye on the speedometer needle. Your aim is to get as high a FD as possible, without the red needle falling. If it’s stationary and then it increases in rpm, then that’s good. If the rpms fall before it increases, that’s bad and you want to reduce your FD. Once you’ve done this then you’ll have the optimum launch start setup (for your current gear 1 and 2 ratios). So the FD is not too low so that it wastes time when you start, and not too high to cause you to lose traction with wheel spins.

Before I go any further, I should make it clear that it’s possible to have a different FD with different gear 1 and 2 ratios. But your FD has an amplifying effect on all your gears… so herein lies the problem – what FD is perfect for your car overall? Unfortunately, you don’t know, and it’s largely trial and error… if you’re a pro tuner, then you want this low so that you can adjust your gears in the thousandths. If in any doubt here, then just start with the stock gear 1 setting, and tune from there.

Third gear is slightly different as you’re using your Nitrous. This third gear and Nitrous act as a pair. Increasing the duration time is the same as reducing the third gear ratio because both reduce the force applied.

Set the NOS to around about 2.5 to start off with. Increase your 3rd gear ratio until you see the wheel spinning happening when you gear to 3rd and activate the NOS. Take note of what rpm is seen when you change to third. If the setup is such that the resultant rpm is really low, then you’ll need to increase your 3rd gear ratio so the resultant rpm is acceptable whilst increasing your NOS duration time. The reason for not letting the rpm fall too low is because you want the engine to be in its active rpm region as explained earlier. Getting this right takes practise and guess work, but its similar to how you adjusted the [FD, 1st and 2nd gear] set.

The next thing to do is alter the remaining gear ratios. They should be handled in a group where the higher gears are affected by the lower ones: so as you change a 4th gear, you’ll alter the 5th and 6th gears at the same time. If you change a 5th gear, you’ll change a 6th gear too.

If this is your initial tune, then do a few trial runs and look at where the rpm needle falls for each gear change. Alter each of the ratios such that the rpm needle is pretty high… almost at the red section.

Now you’ll find that you may be gearing really fast, or the engine and rpm is maxed out so the needle bounces at the top or is at the maximum limit for a period during the race. This is no good for us as it wastes valuable race power and speed. So start reducing your 4th, 5th and 6th gears together in small increments such that you reach the max rpm just before the finish of the race. You’re effectively spreading your transitions across the gears any making full use of the engine.

Right… that’s a huge brain dump and enough information which should help guide you on how to tune your car for a second gear start. You can apply the same logic to first gear start too (… have a think about it). In my next post I’ll gather some acceptable tunes which should help you get a low race time, and put some tips together about how to take your tuning to the next level.

So I’ve been having lots of trouble tuning the Skyline for the 1/4 mile. I started with the tunes you gave in your previous post and tweaked them to fit my driving style. But the best I can get time-wise is around 10.1 and I’m getting smoked by other Skylines driving 9.9s. Any help?

Hi Artephius,
Yeah this one is odd… following all the things I described would get you to around 10.1 seconds. The trick here is to change from 2nd to 3rd at around 7000 rpm, and the other gears around 8100 rpm. It’s so subtle that its too difficult to notice this one.
I’ve done some digging around and I’ve found this… see if this works for you:
Nitrious: 2.88s
Final Drive: 5.000 (so full multiplier effect!)
1st Gear: 4.950
2nd Gear: 3.675
3rd Gear: 2.010
4th Gear: 1.510
5th Gear: 1.130
6th Gear 0.940

Just to be clear, I think you saw players getting 9.98X… That’s uber tough and I don’t have a setting for that. But with the above, you can get just over 10 seconds without too much effort. Try varying your gearing points to see if you can drive the time down further!

Hi Sherwin_7109,
I seem to remember that the BMW M3 does the trick in beating the level 4 bosses. Especially the 1/4 mile race settings. Are you sure you’re looking at the correct car and distance? Don’t forget that most tunes on that page are 2nd gear launch tunes unless specified.
Cheers

Hi vgpal,
I was about to point you to our Facebook page and then I realised you’re racing in level 7 where the Aston Martin is just by the (new) Audi replacement and the Pagani Zonda.
Unfortunately I don’t have a tune available. The reason is because the Aston Martin’s acceleration profile is just outmatched by those other two cars and as such there’s not much point in racing with the Aston Martin.
Sorry I couldn’t help!

my tune for a bmw m3 running mid 9.5 1/4 times is as follows.
nitrous 3.54s
final drive 1.87
first 5.00
second 3.516
third gear 2.942
fourth 2.52
fitfh2.158
sixth 1.929
launch full throttle hit nos when you shift from1st to 2nd and you will run 9.6 with ease. with practice you can dip into the 9.5. I’m trying to beat the world record and the closest i have come is less then .010 off

Hey Dart,
Sorry for the extremely late reply. Have been really busy. Good to see that you’ve gotten to level 8. I’m going to assume you have a Pagani Zonda which is the best 1/2 mile car. After you have that then you want to go into the tunes and reduce the ratio numbers for the 3rd to 6th gears. The aim is to lower the 6th gear ratio so that you can achieve a higher top speed. The changes for the middle gears are so that your car transitions smoothly. If that seems a bit weird still then try tapping the 3rd down twice, 4th down twice, 5th down thrice, 6th down thrice. Keep adjusting in this way and feel the car gear transition. You should easily get a faster top speed which will then let you beat the boss.
Cheers

Hi Stuart,
For level 9 you should use a Ferarri FXX or a SSC Ultimate Aero. Otherwise its highly likely that your car will be unable to beat the boss. The acceleration profile will just be smacked down. Sorry, but you can use your Zonda to farm cash and respect points in order to buy a better car. (Sounds like effort, but its better than trying to tune the Zonda forever)
Cheers

Hi,WildWilly!
it’s a great game ur giving advice for :)
Atm in with a Novitec Rosso 599 GTB…but on lvl 7 career race im stuck with the am-77 aston martin…it’s a 1 mile race that i am getting smoked at…my upgrades are 3-3-2-4-4-4 and i dont really think they are good but im working on getting money and getting better…i have read the tunning hints up but i cant come up with a good one and im kinda hopeless…have you got a good tune or some other tips for me?

Hi ClioN,
I’m not sure if you can upgrade the Pagani Zonda sufficiently to beat the level 7 career race. But it is a good car for the level 8. Check out the details on our Facebook Page.
Cheers
PS Apologies for the late reply.

Hi ClioN,
Drag racing is an awesome game. It’s fun and it can be pretty hardcore too.
For the level 7 1 mile race against the Aston Martin you should be able to get full upgrades without pushing the car into the next level bracket. I think you should focus on getting the upgrades first. Then you should do the tuning (otherwise no amount of tuning will let you win. Try checking out our Facebook page which has some more exact details.
Cheers
PS Apologies for the tardy reply!

nitrous…set @ 74%
fd set @ 1.642
1st..3.940
2nd….3.182
3rd..2.576
4th..2.103
5th..1.803
6th..1.623
7th..1.443 that my set up , i will say is not perfect yet but it will get the job done to pass level six…you will catch up to him close to the end for the win…. good luck.

Hi RaiderMike79,
I’m surprised to hear that you’ve got a fully upgraded Hennessey Venom GT level 10, but yet you’re getting smoked! I’m assuming you’re referring to a half mile drag here…. and I’m guessing you’re stuck on the tuning.
Try these settings as a base (for a second gear tune, and see if you can tweak them to get an ultimate tune!

I just wanted to make a comment, because something was bothering me about the article…
In “Real Life”, when talking about the final drive (differential) of a car, the higher the ratio is numerically, say 4.10:1, the more acceleration via the torque multiplication effect but also the less distance covered in a given gear (as it will hit redline more quickly). In a “longer-geared” rear differential ratio, say 2.45:1, the car will have less power off the line and will spend more time in each gear, so between two cars otherwise identical, this car would not be as fast in acceleration; however, it would not be nearly as speed-limited as the higher-numerical (4.1:1) car.

To give you a real-life example:
I have a BMW that has a ton of work done to it including a customized Lysholm Twin Screw Supercharger with Dual-Core Front-Mount Intercooler, pushing 16psi of boost on a 10.6:1 Compression Ratio. This is around 440hp at the rear wheels (or 510-530hp at the crank).
I swapped my 5spd manual transmission for the 6spd manual from a similar model BMW, as it allowed for similar gearing for 1-5, while 6 provided a much better overdrive speed (at 75mph with the stock 2.91:1 rear diff I was at ~3650rpm in 5th; in 6th, at 75mph I am at ~2875rpm with a 3.23:1 diff). It also allowed me to disassemble the 6spd before installing, repairing/replacing any worn parts, reinforcing necessary areas, and having the gears shot-peened, cryo-treated, and weight-matched.
It also allowed for my to increase my final drive ratio when having a Quaife Limited-Slip Differential made, and while most go with a 3.46 or even 3.64 (from the stock 2.91), I decided 3.23:1 was good as combined with the 6spd manual I had a much greater top speed, the slightly longer gearing allows for better power transfer, and I can cruise comfortably at 80mph with the engine at 3000rpm or so in 6th.

Hi nleksan,
Thanks for the info! That’s really helpful because I couldn’t find any really good info about the final drive. So basically, what I wrote omits the fact that the car will redline more quickly. Hmmm…. I’m not sure the game models this aspect very well then.

Your BMW sounds awesome! May I ask how much all that kit costs and how long the improvements have taken? Where would a beginner start to get involved in customising a car, and do you do all of it yourself?
Cheers
WildWilly

Does anyone else find it weird at all that the cars used are NOT dragstrip cars? I mean, people don’t but 95% of these cars for 1/4mi speed, if they buy them to race they are used as road course/track cars…

Hi Zane,
Yeah I purposely didn’t put a perfect setup in actually ;) If I just gave everything away, I think I would also sap the fun out. Not only that, but then you would be fighting people on car control alone (because everyone would have the perfect setup).
This way, you have a setup which is close to perfect and you only have to adjust the car slightly. Trust me…. its more satisfying to win with your own ability!
You’re on the tuning page anyway… why not have a look at adjusting your gear ratios slightly first.
Cheers
Will

Haha then I guess it’s as close to perfect as I’m gonna get cause I tried to adjust them and I get further away everytime. But i have 4500 points on lvl 6&7 so I guess it aint too bad, help with a tune for the cm f1 lvl 8 of course. Please?

Hi Zane,
If you’re at 4500 points then you have a pretty good tune. Since you were aiming to get 4999 points, I can see why you were looking for a perfect setup. But do remember that a second gear launch start is technically always going to lose to a first gear launch start.

I think you were hinting about CM F1 tuning tips in your last message.

Hi Tim,
Have you had a look at our Facebook Page. I think you’re not getting the optimum upgrades to get the best power to weight ratio. For your current setup I think you’re losing out alot of traction.
If the boss is a 1 mile race then you might need a Pagani Zonda.
Cheers

I am running a Level 10 SSC Ultimate Aero running 1/4m @ 7.566 and 1/2m @ 10.921. I have it tuned to it’s complete potential IMO and am very close to the World Record. Since I don’t see my tune as a problem, should I perhaps downgrade something or another to eliminate wheelspin? Maybe I don’t need some of the intake stuff? Not sure about the NO2 as I am only running it at 143% and if I change it even incrementally, my time goes down a tiny bit. I think there is some speed left in this but am at a loss what to try. Or perhaps I am really at the limit of what this model can do. I am more interested in the 1/2 mile aspect

Also, I went on to play today and the World Records tab is missing from my phone and when I try to race online, it says can’t find anyone online yet my WiFi is connected and everything else on my phone works. I tried rebooting the phone but same problem. Are they doing work to the app? I tried to get into the Pro League and it kept saying server too busy, try back in a minute. It’s been a few hours now???

Hi Ron,
Before downgrading or upgrading, you should consider playing around with your gearing times first. i.e. race with the same start, but try doing your 2nd to 3rd gear change earlier or later (or your 3rd to 4th gear change).
Otherwise remember that if you change your upgrades setup then you’ll change your horsepower and possibly traction, so you’ll have to change your tuning afterwards.
According to what I’ve found, the Bugatti Veyron 1/4 mile level 10 fastest time is 7.269, and the Hennessey Venom 1/2 mile level 10 fastest time is 10.896. So your car is pretty close to the ultimate racing times.

Apparently other people found that there were problems with online play on the same day you posted. I think it’s been fixed now though :)

any tip on what car to use for the one mile Aston Martin race in career mode level 7? I have a fully kitted Aston but need a good tune also a rosso.. any tips? keep running 426kph and get beat by 3 hundredths of a sec

If your car is almost there, then perhaps you should just focus on improving your current tune so that you can get an even higher top speed. So reduce the gear ratio number for gear 6 (… and you’ll have to reduce gear 5 and 4 to maintain good gear progression).

Otherwise if you check out the comments in my upgrades post, I’ve put a 1/2 mile Novitec Rosso tune in which you could use as a starting point.

Wow…. Venom 1 mile career race…. this sounds pretty darn tough. Unfortunately , I don’t have coverage of this info, but I do have a 1/2 mile tune which you could perhaps use as a different starting base.

Hi Crazyman,
Sorry I don’t have anything for a Veyron for the 1 mile race in careers. I’m guessing you’re maxed out, and tuned fully to be optimised for either a 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile, but you’re not able to beat he SSC Aero. The time to beat is ~16.75x, which means that you’re currently about 0.5 seconds off… which is quite alot for these supercars. Assuming you know how to adjust your tune, then you should try retweaking your setup again from the 1/2 configuration. Check your top speed is around 32x mph. If your setup is slower, and you’re not reaching to top speed, or you’re not reaching the top speed fast enough, then I would suggest you get an SSC Aero to use to beat the computer at it’s own game.
Sorry I don’t have anything to hand immediately!

Hi Crazyman,
I think the 1 mile opponent is an SSC Aero, so you can get it to level 10.
I’m guessing you’ve reduced the Veyron 6th and 7th gear ratios to increase the speed but it’s still only getting you 310mph. In that case you should get an SSC to beat the computer at it’s own game. I believe a fully maxed out car is necessary.
Fingers crossed!!

Hi Robert,
I think the level 6 career boss is doing a 1/2 mile race. So I personally would start off with an Aston Martin. Anyway, I’m guessing getting another car is way too much time and effort. So instead, how much slower are you compared to the boss? Is the boss driving a Dodge Viper still? If he’s beating you just before the finish line, then focus on your top speed and see if you can drive that up. i.e. reduce the ratio of your 6th gear (and reduce your 5th and 4th gear ratios respectively too)
Sorry I don’t have a 1/2 mile Gallardo tune to hand!

Hi Kurt,
Sorry I don’t have a tune for the Novitech Rosso level 5.
However, I would suggest you check out the Upgrades Page and use that as a starting point. So for level 5, buy a Lamborghini or and Aston Martin and upgrade them according to the setup on the Upgrades page. Then that should take let you beat the computer.

Hi Harry,
Thanks for that tune, but which level are you referring to and what was your upgrade settings? With a Lambo on level 5 in the 1/4 mile race, our tune on our Facebook page can get less that 9.5 seconds. I feel like we’re talking about different levels and race distances.
Cheers

Hi Chris,
Someone else had the same question in my Upgrades post. This seems to be a common problem. To be honest a 1 mile race is difficult, and the upgrades setup itself is quite a challenge, so the tuning will be extra tough.

I suggest you go for the best car in that class for the half mile. So get a Novitec Rosso with maxed out settings. In my Upgrades post if you search for “Aston” or “Novitec Rosso”, you can find a tune for the Novitec Rosso. (Or search for Wandi, who I was replying to.)

Getting a new car might seem like quite a lot of effort… but hey, it’s the best car in the class for the half mile – so doesn’t it make sense that it’s gonna be better for the 1 mile drag race?

Hi Sixx16,
Sorry I don’t have a level 10 1/4 mile tune for the Aero. I think it’s going to be hard to beat the Veyron since it’s technically the best car in the level 10 1/4 mile class.
This might sound extreme, but you may as well get a Bugatti and try and beat the computer at its own game. Alot of effort… but hey then you can own a Bugatti lol!
Sorry I didn’t have a tune!

Hi Zave, I’m not sure if I’m going blind here or something, but if you scroll to the comment immediately above your first one, then there’s a BMW M3 Level 4 1/4 mile tune… is the second gear tune really that bad?? lol!

Hi Willy,
i need a little favor, i m driving AM1 lvl 7 @ 8.532 & 12.432. but i saw guys go over 12.3– could you help me out with this,
Moreover please suggested a car to best use on lvl 8 as i m going to put step into into it, very much confussed in selecting car b/w lambo Murc & Koeng. also plz share tunes.

Hi Dieselfumes,
If you goto the Upgrades page then you can see the best cars for each class. I would use them as a guideline for which car to buy. Level 8, CM F1 for the 1/4 mile and Pagani Zonda for the 1/2 mile.
Cheers

I have a level 1 Honda Integra. I had this car tuned to run 9.2 in a 1/4. I had to replace my phone and lost everything. I have rebuilt the car but still can’t get the tuning back to the times I was getting before. I get around 11 sec right now. I want my fast car back. I was beating level 5 cars. Can anyone help?

Hi PocoDocCutter09,
The fastest time in the 1/4 mile at level 1 is 12.36X, at level 2 it’s 10.61X, and at level 3 it’s 9.964. From my memory, the Honda Integra can only be upgraded to Level 3. So I think you may have remembered incorrectly. Anyway, I suggest you just play the game and get the best cars at each level (Check out the Upgrades page).
Cheers

Hi Dominator_007,
Sorry I don’t have a tune for a Lambo with those upgrade settings. However, if you get upgrades with 4-3-3-5-5-5, and then goto the Upgrades post and do a search for “Lambo”, you’ll find a 2nd gear starting tune there. No perfect tunes are here because then it’d actually make racing a nightmare for you right? (If everyone has access to the best tunes, then you’d find it even harder to win)
Good luck at getting the top score in the pro league!

Hi Dominator_007,
For us, our primary aim is to play and review games. We can’t reply to all the comments immediately unfortunately. But as you see from how many comments there are in this post – we do try our best to reply to people :)
Hope you get that top score!

The optimum setup for a Zonda is 4-4-3-4-5-5. If you use that setup then you can do a search for “Zonda” and you’ll find a 1/2 mile tune you can use. I’m afraid I don’t have a 1/4 mile tune, and I don’t have any tune for a fully upgraded Zonda because it’s not a race winning setup.
Cheers

Hi Dave,
I’ve collated all the tune information on a new Facebook page. A Venom tune which gives 10.896 is there. Please tell me if you need any faster and I’ll see what I can find. I suspect it would be a First gear tune though.
(Like our Facebook page to see the info)
Cheers

Hmm look bro my best is 8.632 with my own made tune.. normally gets 6.45 with no effort but ur starting tune is just for beginners which i had tried out. infortunatly it gets a best of 6.725… Please just tell me a tune to get 6.621 as you have in that video in youtube.. please.
I really wondered alt cause alot of people gets like 6.623 or even 6.622… Please help.

It is lamberghini gollardo level 6 tune please.. my tune gets me as far as 6.632 but that come rarely.. i need too much effort to do it right… please give me a tune for it to get atleast 6.623 or 6.621.. Please.

Hi Crexader99.
Thanks for liking our page.
I’ve added on a BMW M3 Level 4 1/2 mile tune which should get you less than 14.5 seconds.
The BMW Level 4 1/4 mile tune should get you just under 9.6.
Hope that helps!
Cheers

Hey Wildwilly,

The Game has changed !! There is no R8 Anymore
Do you play another games ?

Hi Crexander99,
Yeah someone else told me about the R8. Are you at that level already? I thought you were at level 3 and 4? If you’re very keen to get the R8 I think you can download an older version of the Drag Racing apk.
I’m currently playing Drag Racing: Bike Edition and checking out how to tune bikes there…. it seems pretty complex at the moment.
Cheers

Hi there Willy, Do you know if it is at all possible for the SSC to beat the Bugatti in the second 1/4 mile race on level 10? Have tried a number of tuning options only to get my time in the 7.5 region which is off the 7.4 region set by the Bugatti. Its driving me crazy!

Hi Soulman,
I think theoretically it may be possible to beat a time of 7.4, but you may have to be really good at tuning! If you can’t make a good tune, then I would suggest the rather arduous task of getting a Bugatti and beating the computer at it’s own game. If you want to access this data then please ‘like’ our Facebook page.
Cheers

Hi Tak,
I shared a tune on the Upgrades page which should allow you to just edge past the computer. (Search for “SSC” or “TAK”) If that doesn’t work, then start off with the tune we’ve shared on our Facebook page, and adjust it so that the highest gear has the lowest gear ratio as possible.
(You have to ‘like’ our Facebook page to access the info)
Cheers

Hi noCnuHeJlonaTou,
There’s some info scattered around in the comments of this post and the Upgrades post. But if you just want a tune to beat the computer then check out the Aston Martin tune we’ve shared on our Facebook page.
Cheers

Hi nilfuu,
A tune for the Bugatti Veyron Supersport is available on our Facebook page. There’s just too many comments here for people to wade through so we’re collating the information in a single place there instead. Hope that tune does the trick for you!
Cheers

Hi Nil,
Nope your last comments weren’t removed, they just hadn’t been approved yet… we do this to avoid problems with spammers. As per our last msg, pls check out our Facebook page which has everything we’ve shared so far collated on there. (including the Bugatti Veyron Supersport with full upgrades).
Cheers

Hi adanishy1,
I don’t have a 1 mile tune unfortunately. But I have shared a Lamborghini Murcielago Level 8 1/2 mile tune which you could use as a starting setup to tweak for 1 mile racing. Goto our Facebook page to access the info. Then once you’ve loaded in the setup provided, then tap on the left hand side of the 4th, 5th and 6th gear ratios a few times. (Specifically, tap 4th once, 5th twice, and 6th gear four times… keep adjusting as necessary)
Cheers

btw, not sure if you’ve checked out our Facebook page, but the info is slightly cleaner and more organised there, so you can see all the info in one instance… maybe that will help you when picking your next car purchase.

Dude can u give me a tune for 6.630 in lamberghini gollardo lvl 6 please. You said dastest is 6.621 but world record is 6.612 so anyways please give me tune to get 6.630 time. i really need… my best is 6.42 please i really nedd

Hi Dominator_007,
I’ve said this before, your times really confuse me. I said the fastest tune I have from my research is 8.621, but your best time is 6.42(?) (and this is the second time you’ve said this). Would you care to clarify, so I’m not just barking up the wrong tree here…
Cheers

Hi Dominator_007,
Dude, You really need to work on your accuracy with numbers. You mean your best is 8.642 right? Its really confusing when you just jam out numbers which are incorrect!
I don’t quite understand this obsession with this tune. I think you should play Drag Racing Bike Edition. In any case, I’ve shared the tune on our Facebook page.
Cheers

hey i have my honda s2000 fully upgraded, no upgrades left to buy, and i bought the tuning package and set the final drive and the first gear to 5.000 and my time is around 10.566 as my best time i also use the 2nd gear start. i am getting my behind handed to me multiple times when i race in the pro league im seein like 9.9s and 10.00s so i was wondering if you could give me a tune set up that will give me either the same time or better than those guys

Hi Joe,
The 9.9s and 10.0s should be done by the Nissan Skylines. My research shows that the Honda s2000 isn’t the fastest in the level 3 1/4 mile races. But if you check out our Facebook page you’ll be able to see our level 3 1/2 mile tune which can start you off as a starter tune.
Cheers

Hi Matt,
Check out our Facebook page which has a tune there. It should be able to get you something around 11.662.
Come back and tell me if it is or isn’t working for you because I have other faster tunes you can try out.
Cheers!

Hi DIESELfum3s,
It depends which race distance you want to compete at. For fully optimum racing, then the Ferrari FXX is the best for level 9 1/4 mile online racing, whereas the SSC Aero is the best for level 9 1/2 mile online racing.
For a more rounded car which is generally good at all the distances and is usable for beating the career boss then you opt for the SSC Aero. At this level it’s alot of time to gather money and respect points, so its pretty unfair to just assume that you get a car for each race distance. Anyways, overally the SSC Aero is a good choice!

Hi DIESELfum3s,
There are SSC tunes on our Facebook page. I’m guessing you haven’t looked there yet or you haven’t liked it. Otherwise if you search around on this page and our Upgrades page you might find some tunes somewhere.
Cheers

Hi Matt,
We’ve shared a Level 9 SSC Ultimate Aero tune for the 1/2 mile on our Facebook page… though I think it might be dotted around in the comments of this post or our Upgrades Post. Tell me if the tune on our facebook works for you.
Cheers

Hi Dasher,
I’m trying to open up the discussions so they’re not just one way… perhaps another reader has some level 5 Boss tips they can share?
Also, its rather odd to ask for tips with such a specific setup. Have the tips in my post helped at all?
Cheers

Hi brody205,
We’ve shared a Skyline tune on our Facebook page and somewhere in the comments of our post. But all the info is collated on our Facebook page so the info is easier to access and see.
Cheers

Hi Ascorozane,
How comes you ended up with an SSC Ultimate Aero with those upgrades? The post at the top goes through tuning instructions so you should try that first. Unfortunately, I should really stress that upgrades are the most important thing. They define the car’s power, weight and grip. These three variables are key defining factors for determining a car’s ability. So it’s a bit of a waste trying to tune a car which isn’t optimum. Realistically you’ll looking at improving the car’s time by about 0.5 – 1 second using tuning, whereas correct upgrades have several seconds improvement.
Cheers

Hi Willy and every body,
I got a fully upgraded Hennessey Venom GT level 10, try some turning tips but my max time is 11.00x. Please tell me more detail about turning and shift. When you shift gear and how you launch, use nitro?

P/S: I also like your facebook page, but in my country some time I can’t access to facebook. So please tell me at this page.

o.0″ ummm…. I’m actually gonna have a mini rant here because your last message is a bit outrageous bong. So… I write an Upgrades post, and a Tuning Post…. then I make a Facebook page in order to try and help collate the info for people. But… now you’re asking me how to do a launch and when to nitro???? I get the feeling you’re just lazy and you don’t like reading!

*sigh* Anyway, please do read the posts first. I’m not telling you to trawl through the comments because that really would be unfair. But if you read the post you would learn about a second gear launch. I opt for second gear launches where possible because its more stable. If the tune isn’t a second gear launch then I explicitly state that its a first gear launch.

To do a second gear launch: press the accelerator to start the game, and then slide your thumb down to the gearing tab. That way your car will launch in second gear. The best time to nitro is at the first time of your non launch gear change. Therefore if you launched in second gear, the best time to launch would be when you’re changing to third gear. (If you launched normally then the best time to launch would be when you’re changing to second gear).

If you’ve liked our Facebook page and you’re viewing it via a browser then I’m assuming you can see the tune we shared. If you can see that, then do your 3rd gear change around 6900 rpm, and your 4th to 6th gear changes at around 6600 rpm.
Cheers

I search and read very much, tried some tisp in others web too, but it’s not better. May be my english is not good. I read your reply many times,finally I khow how to launch in second gear. My time now is 10.91x, I really happy.
Thank you very much.

Why not buy a Honda s2000, then upgrade and tune it according to the info I’ve shared on our Facebook page. Then you’ll be able to beat 11.996. Regardless of the distance of the race the Honda s2000 should do very well.
Cheers

Sorry mate, I don’t have a Subaru Impreza tune. I do have details for the other top cars. It’s possible to upgrade and tune the car yourself. Just read our Upgrade post first, and then read our Tuning post. You may find it easier if you looked at one of the existing setups if you get stuck.
Cheers

Hi Massoni,
Which race distance are you aiming for? For the 1/4 mile you should get a Nissan Skyline. For the 1/2 mile you should get a Honda s2000.
Don’t sell any cars which are winning because you may need them to earn more cash and respect points. Only sell off your old cars once your level 3 car is raceworthy.
Cheers

Hi snake,
Have you tried following the tuning instructions I have above? I know they’re slightly difficult to follow, but I can elaborate here.
Otherwise, unfortunately I don’t have a Porsche 911 tune, but there is a BMW M3 tune on our Facebook page. That car would also allow you to compete in the pro races.
Cheers

Hi Luis,
I don’t have any tunes for the Carrera GT, but have you tried using the tuning instructions above? I know they can be difficult to follow, but I can describe in more detail here if you want.
You can use the tunes we have littered over our comments or on our Facebook page in order to get a feel for a tuned car.
Cheers

hi wildwilly, i got 2 requests, atm i could need a good tune for the gallardo lvl 5 1/4m….
if you have the time and the courage, could you please tell me if the m3 is the fastest 1/2m lvl 4 car, and if yes, which tune could be recommended? thanks very much in advance

Hi deathspeeed,
The BMX M3 is indeed the fastest 1/2 mile level 4 car. The tune is on our Facebook page.
We have a good upgrade setup with a tune for the 1/4 mile level 5 gallardo races on our Facebook page too.
Is that enough courage for you? lol

Hi zach,
For the mile long race, the best 1/2 mile car should be very capable of beating the boss. (so get a BMW M3… a tune is on our Facebook page) You only need to do a small amount of tweaking to the tune.
Cheers

Hi Wiseguy,
Sorry I don’t have a level 9 1/4 mile tune for the Koenigsegg Agera. I do have a level 8 tune which is faster than your level 9 tune though. I’ve shared the info on our Facebook page. So if you go there you could try using those gear ratios and see if you can tweak them in your favour.
Cheers

Excuse me I want to ask.where I can find audi R8 just like your post in upgraded.imve been searchinf for that car and is still trying using novotic russo 599 GTB to defeat career lv 7 againts AM one-77 1 mile but alway lose.how to defeat career lvl 7?thanks

Hi Skieszero, actually I think the Audi R8 has been removed from the latest version of the game. It was infringing on copyright issues so it was removed. But it’s weird because I was racing with it the other day and I could see it’s still eclipsing all the other cars! If you really want it then I guess you somehow need to get an old version apk file of the game, but then you run the risk of losing all your cars, money and respect points.
Cheers

Hey skiezero, try this tune for the am one-77, it requires just under 1 million and a lot of to points, but try this; nitrous-2.87 Final drive-2.100 1st- 3.000 2nd-2.550 3rd-2.050 4th-1.600 5th-1.350 6th-1.225 hope it helps:)

Hi wild
I want to ask how to defeat career aston martin one 77 in 1 mile.with what car and how to tuning.pls help me.I have novotic russo max upgrade aston martin one 77 max upgrade and pagandi zonda lv 7

Hi Shane,
Try going to our Facebook page and then picking up one of the tunes from there to learn about how to tune your car.
From eyeballing your upgrades, I would say that your SSC Ultimate Aero upgrades may not be optimal though. You may want to look into that first. (Please search for our Drag Racing Upgrade Tips to learn more about this.
Cheers

Hi Tulgw,
I’m not entirely sure. What race are you going for? I ask because with a fully upgraded Aston Martin I think you’d be beaten in the online races by a Novitec Rosso in the 1.2 mile race. You’d also be beaten by the Audi R8 in the 1/4 mile race.
But if you follow the tuning tips in this post you should be able to get pretty close to a race level tune.
Cheers

Hi Kieran,
We recommend getting the CM-F1 for the 1/4 mile, and the Pagani Zonda for the 1/2 mile. These will have you covered for beating the computer career AIs, and also allow you to compete in the online Pro League.
Cheers

Hi Jordan757,
Check out our Facebook Page which has the tunes on it. Otherwise the tune is somewhere in the comments… its just really hard to find now because there have been so many comments! lol
Cheers

Hi swenexXx,
Why not look at our Facebook page to get some tunes to pick up and use. If you’re really keen on playing the game you’re much better off reading our post and trying to understand about what all the numbers mean.
Cheers

hello, i need help to defeat the boss in stage 6, any recommendation which car should i use? at the moment i’m using aston martin and gallardo at stage six.. the first 4 races already clear using my gallardo, but not the big boss.. i need the tuning if it is possible to defeat the boss using Aston Martin / Gallardo.. tq

Hi Clay,
Use the Aston Martin to defeat that boss. The Gallardo’s acceleration profile just isn’t suited to compete in long distance races.
Try using our Aston Martin tune on our Facebook page as a starting point and lower the 4th, 5th and 6th gears so that you get a lower 6th gear ratio (which will then give you a higher top speed).
Cheers

Hi Bob, I was about to say have a look at our Facebook page but I just realised you asked for the challenger, not the charger. I don’t have my research on me ATM, so I’ll have to have a look when I get back to them.

Hmmmm… That’s tough. From memory, the Fxx is optimum in the 1/4 mile. But your boss is a 1 mile ssc. Unfortunately the Fxx acceleration profile is unable to beat the scc and reach a high speed. You can definitely get a close time. But beating the scc with the Fxx will be tough.

Hi Rastussir,
It’s great to hear that you’re trying to do your own tune! Have you tried varying the rpm at which you do your launch and varying the rpm which you change gear at? Sometimes it’s not actually optimum to get perfect gear changes.
How does your tune compare to the one we have on our Facebook page?
Cheers

my tune and setup are exactly what you have on your facebook page. I can’t seem to get it under 2.13 sec. I have tried varying rpm at launch, and shifting. Still cant seem to get a faster launch. Do I need to try a different car? If so, which would you suggest for the quickest launch?

Hi Rastussir,
Hmmm… I’m guessing this is to achieve one of the challenges/achievements or something? Given that you’ve varied your launches and shifts, then its probably the car which is your issue. Do you have enough to use the Bugatti Veyron instead? (That’s the best 1/4 mile car)
Cheers

Hi Dustin,
For level 5, the Lambo is best for the 1/4 mile, and the Aston Martin is best for the 1/2 mile.
Whatever you do, don’t sell your car until you’ve fully purchased your next race winning car. The money isn’t going to be an issue, its the respect points which usually mess people up. You need an increasing amount of respect points as you go up the levels.
Why don’t you check out our Facebook page.
Cheers

Hi John,
Sorry mate, no tune specific for the career 1 mile, but you should be able to take the tune we have for the 1/2 mile and adapt it for the 1 mile. Just reduce the gear ratios for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears. By reducing the 6ths gear ratio you’ll let your car achieve a higher speed (and thus you will beat the computer).
Cheers

My Aston Martin One-77 is fully upgraded on level 7 and won’t let me go to level 8…..yet in my 1 mile race on 7th level it is impossible to pass……my opponent (identical car) dries in 19.411 and my best is 19.562……..what can I do? Tuning is the answer I gather but how do I tune it, seriously don’t understand…..

Hi Peter,
Yup you need to tune the car. There are instructions on this post guiding you how to tune and they take you through the launch and how to improve the car for an optimum race. Being about 0.15 seconds off suggests that if you just edit your 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear tunes then you might be able to just nudge past him. So the key here is that your top speed probably isn’t high enough. So tap the 3rd gear ratio down once, 4th down twice, 5th down twice and 6th down twice too. Then try racing again (and repeat the process as necessary). By reducing the 6th gear ratio you allow the car to achieve a higher top speed. The reduction of the interim gears is so that the car progression is spread over those gears.
If you can’t be bothered to do that (most likely), then check out our Facebook Page which has a specific career level tune to beat the boss. Hopefully you can learn something from it though!
Cheers

Hi Fabian,
Sorry, only have Hennessey and Veyron tunes as the Aero is just slightly outmatched by the best Hennessey and Veyron tunes. It’s just down to the Engine acceleration profile not being as good.
Cheers

Hi acl.75% kill,
If you can only have one car personally I would pick the 1/2 mile cars which stand a better chance against any 1 mile career opponents.
However, you might actually save more time overall by going for both the 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile cars and just farming people for cash and respect points in the pro races.
Try your luck and go for the 1/2 mile cars first.

Hi! i was wondering about a good quarter mile tune for the ssc ultimate aero at level 9? im using it for money and reputation farming, so i was wondering about a good tune for it?
would prefer a time faster than 7.650s :)

Hi LazyLuck,
If you’re using the car for money and reputation farming then do you still need a good tune still?? Why not check out our Facebook page? (Which has all the tunes and upgrades summarised)
Cheers

Hi dcoicube,
Sorry mate, I don’t have a tune for the Nissan GTR R35.
My only suggestion is use another car which we’ve covered? We do try and suggest the best cars with associated upgrades and tunes – so it does make life easier :)
(All info is summarised on our Facebook Page).
Cheers

Wanna ask you something. I tuned my Lamborghini Gallardo, but then I found your tunes and hints. i repaired it with your sets. The problem is that I get BLOWED by other Lamborghinis. I beat all other cars but Lamborghinis are blowing me. Advice please.

Hi BRTxDragman,
Yeah some of the tunes we’ve shared are just to give you a helping hand so you can jump towards tweaking a good car. That’s why you don’t have an ultimate car. However, for the level 6 lambo, the 1/4 mile first gear launch tune should put you on par with your competitors because its a very good tune.
Cheers

i havent find very usefull your 2nd gear launch, ist if for heavily upgraded cars? or high level? ive ran honda s2000′ skylines, and the first neon and bmw, and i see these cars get really slow with your 2ng gear launch. only with the boss 302 and camaro worked for me with this 2nd gear launch. can u tell me why? im doing it wrong?

Hi drn17r0,
You’re the first person to come back saying that the 2nd gear launch isn’t useful.
Are you sure you’re doing it correctly? First press the accelerator and then slide your thumb down to the gear up paddle. Then your car should have a very controlled launch.
If you do this correctly, your car can be almost as fast as a first gear launch car and you’ll have a consistent start!

I have gotten a tune that worked for me with Lvl 7 Aston Martin 1 Mile Race. Using the Above tune for the Aston (or previously posted, don’t remember, too much searching), this is what I used (iPhone) to get 19.435 to just barely squeak a victory:

5-5-5-5-5-5
3.20 (94%)
2.480
1.854
1.390
1.120
0.910
0.750

He got in front for a bit, but managed to squeeze by him. 2nd Gear Launch, hitting Nitrous at the same time as Good/Perfect Shift from 2nd to 3rd and Perfect shift the rest of the way.

Hi ravexb,
Sorry I don’t have a level 8 Lambo tune because it’s outclassed in that race level.
But we do have tunes for other cars on our Facebook page.
Though it may seem like alot of effort to get the money and respect points for another car (with upgrades & tuning kit), its probably going to be faster than spending time trying to tune a level 8 Lambo to perfection.
Cheers

Hi Brett,
If you have a look at our Facebook page then you’ll be able to see a couple of definite solutions using an Aston Martin. Though personally I suggest modifying a 1/2 mile Rosso tune because you can continue to use the Rosso to farm cash and respect points in the Pro Races.
Cheers

btw, though it may seem like a lot of effort to get the money and respect points to buy and kit out another car – its probably faster and more time efficient than trying to tune a car from a random upgrade setting.

Hey guys,
MPH_Infamous here. I have gotten a lot of help from this page & I am ranked in the top 1000 players in the world for Pro League level 7, level 8, & level 10. Since I have gotten so much help from this forum I would like to say thank you to WildWilly & anyone else who has posted their tunes in this forum by giving you all my tunes.
——————————————————TUNES——————————————————-
Level 7:
Novitec Rosso 599 GTB 1/2 mile (2nd gear start)
Fastest time 12.362 seconds
Top Speed- 268mph or 431kmh
Upgrades= 5-5-5-5-5-5 (maxed out)
Nitrous Distribution- 2.51s @ 120%
Final Drive- 1.976
1st Gear- 3.226
2nd Gear- 2.742
3rd Gear- 2.157
4th Gear- 1.865
5th Gear- 1.644
6th Gear- 1.472
Racing notes:
Start with RPMs maxed. Shift into 2nd as soon as the race starts. Hit nitrous & shift into 3rd gear at the same time around 8800-8900 RPMs (should be perfect shift). Shift into 4th gear at 8900 RPMs. Shift into 5th gear at 8900 RPMs, & shift into 6th gear at 7000 RPMs (should be as late as possible while still getting a perfect shift). I generally go between 12.369 & 12.363 on averidge, and 12.362 at the fastest. The key to getting a high ranking in pro league is consistency. This is an easy & consistent tune.

Level 8:
CM F1 1/4 mile (2nd gear start)
Fastest time 7.879 seconds
Top Speed- 218mph or 350kph
Upgrades= 1-5-1-5-5-5
Nitrous Distribution- 2.31s @ 130%
Final Drive- 1.997
1st Gear- 3.772
2nd Gear- 3.096
3rd Gear- 2.063
4th Gear- 1.782
5th Gear- 1.562
6th Gear- 1.452
Racing Notes:
This is what I use for pro league level 8 1/4 mile. It may not be within 0.010 the world record, but unlike every other 1/4 mile car, this does NOT mean it’s a bad tune. I find that is much better than any other 1/4 mile tune for the CM F1 because it is easily the best (and only) way to consistently post fast 1/4 mile times. I have played long enough to be ranked in the top 1000 worldwide (my rating is 4756 which places me at 957th in the world as of 7/25/12), & I have never seen anyone go faster than 7.775 in the pro league. This tune will get you between 8.890 & 8.879 seconds if you have a good run (which is easy with this tune). This will win in Pro League almost every time. Here is how to race with this tune; start maxed out at 7500 RPMs. Shift into 2nd gear as soon as the race starts. Shift into 3rd gear & hit the nitrous at the same time when you reach 7000 RPMs (should be a perfect shift). Shift into 4th gear anywhere from 7100-7200 RPMs (this should be a perfect shift & it is best if you shift right at 7100 RPMs). Do the same for 5th gear as you did for 4th. Shift into 6th gear anywhere from 7200-7400 RPMs (it is best to shift right at 7400 RPMs & this should be as late as possible while still getting a perfect shift).

CM F1 1/4 mile (1st gear start)
Fastest time 7.875 seconds
Top Speed- 217mph or 348kph
Upgrades= 1-5-1-5-5-5
Nitrous Distribution- 2.31s @ 130%
Final Drive- 1.996
1st Gear- 3.100
2nd Gear- 2.060
3rd Gear- 1.830
4th Gear- 1.670
5th Gear- 1.550
6th Gear- 1.460
Racing Notes:
This is the fastest tune I know for the CM F1 level 8 1/4 mile, but it is sadly extremely inconsistent. I you don’t get a perfect launch & almost all perfect shifts you will have little or no chance at winning. If you can do this perfectly at least 95% of the time I highly encourage you to use this tune, but the window of time for a perfect shift is ridiculously small, leaving no margin for error (because of this I do not know what the RPMs should be at when you shift). Here is how to race with this tune; turn staging lights on (you will need them). Max the RPMs out and keep them there until the last yellow light is fading. Release the gas as soon as the last light starts to fade & the RPMs should fall back just enough to ghet a perfect launch. Afterward, hit nitrous as you shift into 2nd gear, then get perfect shifts for 3rd through 6th gears. If you do this perfectly your time will be between 8.875 & 8.880. If you make any mistakes, especially on the launch or first shift, your time will be around 8.890 at the absolute fastest.

Level 10:
Honda Hennessey Venom GT 1/2 mile (2nd gear start)
Fastest time 10.879 seconds
Top Speed- it was still accelerating at the end of a mile
Upgrades= 5-5-5-5-5-5 (maxed out)
Nitrous Distribution- 3.00s at 100%
Final Drive- 3.360
1st Gear- 2.610
2nd Gear- 1.710
3rd Gear- 1.230
4th Gear- 0.940
5th Gear- 0.770
6th Gear- 0.630
Racing Notes:
Start with RPMs maxed out. Shift into 2nd at the start. Shift into 3rd at 60-70mph or at about 100kph (these are exactly the same, but I suggest using whichever one you can get the timing right with). Shift into 4th gear & hit the nitrous at the same time between 7000 & 7100 RPMs. Shift into 5th gear between 7000 & 7100 RPMs & do the same for 6th gear.

Hi Darius,
Sorry I don’t have a tune for a level 3 Toyota Supra, but there are tunes (with associated upgrades) for the Honda s2000 and the Nissan Skyline on our Facebook page. btw, those are the best cars of that level.
Cheers

I am 8 Barny and have a tune for your car may not be the best, but i am beating some people, maybe you could work on it. I also am a fan of this game, so here is what i have in regards to the toyota supra:

Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank you for the tuning stats you provided for the Level-8 Pagani Zonda R, using which I was able to beat the bosses of levels 5,6,7 and 8 (both 1/4 and 1/2 mile) without much difficulty.
My problem is this- My first car was a Dodge SRT-4, which I upgraded to Level-3. But now, the racers of this level zoom past my car as easily as possible. I would like to seek your advice on which kits to downgrade, so that it becomes a good racing car for level 2.
I searched for the recommended tuning stats for this car on your site and facebook app, but could not find them anywhere. It would be kind if you could mention them for me, but if you don’t have them, only the suggestion on kits would do.
Regards.

Actually it was my first car, that is why I wanted it to fare well in one of the levels at least, but guess I’ll have to live with it lol
Same with the Ford Shelby; it was no match for the Aston Martin’s of level 5; and on downgrading to level 4, it was easily beaten by the BMW’s. I ended up selling it.
I currently have the Dodge (level 2), a BMW M3 (4), an Aston Martin (5), a Lamborghini Gallardo (6), and a Pagani Zonda (8). I have sufficient cash to buy any one of the final three cars (Ultimate Aero / Bugatti Veyron / Hennessy). Which one would be the best option for races beyond level 8?
Thanks

Hi Arindam,
Apologies for the very late reply. Usually I would just suggest getting all of them as there’s a specific car which is best for each class level. However, through discussions with people on this page I believe the Ultimate Aero is a good mid ground. It does need you to be good at tuning, but if you can tune a car then you can use it to get through most of the career game.
Cheers

Hi Jean05291975,
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 isn’t a good car at level 4 so I have no info about it. However, I happen to have a level 3 tune which is good for the car. Perhaps you could use those ratios as a starting point to tune your car to beat the boss? Check out our Facebook Pagefor the level 3 Camaro tune.
Cheers

Where is this facebook page you keep talkin about wildwilly.i click the link and it just takes me to my facebook page.i click the facebook icon in the corner for and androidreview page but i dont see no tune ups like you are talkin about.can you please send me the link where all these tune ups are.im stuck

Hi Shamrocks76,
It sounds like you’re trying to access the Facebook page from a mobile device. Instead use a desktop browser to goto Facebook. In the current Facebook layout you’ll see the activity boxes in the top right where you’ll see all the tunes and upgrades.
Cheers

Does anyone have a tune for the Novitec rosso 599 GTB or the right upgrades i should use? Ive won a bunch of races the other car i cant seem to beat is the Aston martin one-77 itys getting annyoinng please help

Hi balaxubas,
Please check out our Facebook page where there are upgrades and tunes.
Why would you question whether people are honest??? Dude you have some serious issues….
By the way, I was really put off replying to anyone because of such a ridiculous message

But honestly, it’s just a game of statistics. The first gear launch tune should let you win most of your races. Even if you don’t get first you should come in the top three and that’ll let you earn money and respect points. What more do you want??

hi..i am newbie here…i have try to get best time for my clio v6 at level 2..but still not good enough…can you help me for the setting…thanks before…i cant find you on facebook…can you give me your facebook acc…

Hi keesie33,
If you have an Aston Martin then you could upgrade it to level 6. There’s a tune on our Facebook page which you could modify to beat your level 6 opponents. Alternatively, you could see if the level 7 ratios are usable… but you will need to adjust them proportionally for a level 6 car.
Cheers

Hi Krn,
I don’t have a level 8 tune for the ssc Ultimate Aero sorry! But you could try using the level 9 tune and adjusting it down proportionally for level 8 usage. The other complication is that you’ll have to read about how to upgrade your car in the optimum fashion as well as learning about tunes. To be honest… maybe its easier for farm money and cash and then just use the tunes given on our Facebook page.
Cheers

Hi adibady,
Sorry I don’t know how much RP and money is necessary. However, once you do get to around level 6 alot of cash and respect points is necessary. I seem to remember that level is the tipping point and every level afterwards will be harder to get the necessary RP rather than the cash. My advice is get that level 5 car and keep using it to farm loads of money and Respect points.
Cheers

Hi krn,
Sorry for the really late reply. Sorry I really don’t have anything for level 8 for the ssc Ultimate Aero. It is definitely a good car though, so still it out and play around with the settings!
Cheers

Hi Arman,
Hopefully someone can help you. To be honest, I’ve found for the time and effort it takes to tune a car, sometimes its actually faster to just farm cash and RP and buy the best one! lol
Cheers

Hi, i was reading through all the comments and i have to say you have most of the tuning down for drag racing. I was just wondering how far you have come in figuring out the tuning on drag racing bike edition. i cant seem to figure it out.

Hi Colton,
To be honest, the tuning for drag racing is nowhere near as fun. I did a couple of them, but the launches are very binary when they work… there’s not much room for real tweaking. For this reason I just stopped because it was basically kinda dull. I have done a little bit on our Facebook page where I’ve shared a couple of tunes. But the game has been upgraded now so the tunes may well be obselete.
Do you enjoy the Bike version? I’m guessing you’re getting confused about the front and rear sprockets…. though in theory they are easy to understand… you’re probably seeing that the output results don’t seem to match what you’re expecting.
Cheers

Hi wildwilly
I have novitec rosso at level 7 with tuning and my best time at 1/2 is 12.365. I’d like some advice about how to run faster because I see other users running 12.362 and I can’t reach them.

Hi Moxot,
I suggest you try comparing your current upgrades with my suggested upgrades first. Then compare the tunes. Save down both the tunes and try racing them. You should feel the gearing difference. (btw our tunes are on our Facebook page…. and I think some Novitec Rosso ones are on the Upgrades or Tuning Page)
Cheers

Hi Naseem,
From what I’ve seen then deleting the game and reinstalling will reset everything to level 1. Why would you want to do that though?? … and why is it an issue to delete and reinstall? Do remember that you will lose all cash, respect points and cars.
Cheers

Hi Babe,
First start off with a decent 1/2 mile tune. Then reduce the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear ratios slowly. You’ll notice that you’ll get closer and closer to beating the boss as you race him. You’ll also see feel out the acceleration of the car. It’ll be obvious after a while. The key is to reduce that 6th gear ratio so you get a higher top speed.
Cheers

hi Smiley777,
Sorry I don’t have a tune for the FXX to beat the boss. I’m not entirely sure if its possible. If you’re not used to tuning, then you’re better off farming for respect points and money to get an SSC Aero.
Cheers

Hi Frank,
Goto our Facebook page and use the 1/2 mile car and tune listed there. With that as a base you should be able to adjust the tune to beat the boss. Remember that you want a really high top speed so your highest gear’s ratio would be as low a number as possible. In order to smoothly transition to the lower gear ratio numbers then the interim gear ratios will also need to decrease progressively.
Cheers

Hi dee jay,
Get a Novitec Rosso and use the tune on our Facebook page as a base. Then adjust the tune to increase the overall top speed. (i.e. you want to reduce the ratios for the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gears.)
Otherwise search through the comments in our Tuning OR Upgrades page.
Cheers

Hi Ramale,
I don’t have a tune for the Lambo to beat the Aston Martin 1 mile. I tried to adjust it, but it seems like its acceleration profile just isn’t able to let it beat the Aston Martin. For the amount of time you might spend tweaking a tune to beat the Aston Martin, you may as well farm the pro leagues for money and respect points.
Cheers

Im stuck at lvl 9 with an ssc that wont outrun the CM F1 1/4 mile boss. Cant access facebook. IF someone could pls help me with a starting tuning i would be most appreciative. Just race for fun, not lookn for records or anything. Ive got this far on my own but really would appreciate some advice. Again, I cant access facebook. Thanks for any help. Peace John

Hi John,
Try using the Ferrarri FXX to beat the 1/4 mile races. Otherwise if you can’t access facebook then try doing a search in the comments on this page and our Upgrades page. You can navigate between the Upgrades and Tunes page at the top or bottom of the posts.
Cheers

Hi. I’d like to know what’s the best tune for a fully upgraded level 6 Nissan GTR R35 on a 1/4 mile race (1st gear start if possible)? My best time is around 8.960s, but I noticed that the world record is just over 8 sec.

I’d also like to know the tune for Novitec Rosso 1mile race against level 7 Aston Martin One-77.

And if you can please post the tunes here, because I’m currently unable to look for it on FB.

Hi JG33RR,
If you look somewhere in the comments of this post or our Upgrades post then you’ll be able to find a GTR R35 tune. Our suggestions for the 1 mile race are to use the 1/2 mile setup as a base for the Novitec Rosso. Otherwise if you goto our Facebook page you can get an Aston MArtin tune to beat the computer. If you’re lucky then maybe someone else will copy and paste the tune over, but we’ve purposely consolidated the information so that people don’t have to keep looking everywhere.
Cheers

I’ve got a Level 6 Gallardo and I’m running 8.74 1/4 mi. consistently, but I’me seeing some guys running 8.6′s and 8.5′s Ultimately i’d love to get 8.5. Any suggestions on how to tune my car to get those results?

Hi Collin,
Do you want to try comparing your settings to the upgrade and tune settings on our Facebook page? I would say you should try being heavy handed with the tuning in order to feel out the effects on the car more. It sounds like you’re doing well… and you might need to change your final drive.
Cheers

Hi Bhavik,
It sounds like the game has been updated. If you can’t use those upgrade settings, you should still be able to use the tips in our Upgrades post page. (navigate from the top or the bottom of the post)
Cheers

So I was browsing through the record times and some guy got 14.9xx with the nissan skyline on 1/2 mile level three… I have tuned the crap out of mine and can only get 16.4xx. Anybody have any tips as to how he might have done this?

Hi Lubond,
It’s quite complex to get a record time. The steps you need to go through are first: get the right upgrade settings, and then second: do the best tune. It’s extremely hard to do this because each upgrade would also have different optimum tuning settings. Dedication and persistence is the key to get a world record time.
Cheers

Hi willy. I deleted this game early this year like in feb. I recently downloaded the game again, and to my suprise I didn’t have to start all over. My question is the tunes I had are still on my phone but I’m getting slower times. I have even tried multiple tunes for the Veyron ss but can only get 7.99 which all the tunes I have seen are around 7.2-7.5 Did the tunes change when the game was updated because I notice it’s a little different thanks for your time.

Hi Thomas,
I hear from other comments that the game has been updated. So your tunes are applied to a different game version and thus your cars are running slower. If you want your old settings to output the same times then you should download an older version of the game and run that.
Cheers

Hi Nepu77,
Have a did around on our comments either here or our Upgrades post. Otherwise, just try and find someone who has access to Facebook? Sorry I’ve got too many people asking for help and I’m already trying to consolidate things.
Cheers

hi, thanks for the tips. i tried to tune the cars with the instructions “Tuning method for a second gear launch” you provided in this page, and i’m stuck on second and third points, about “red needle” “red pointer”.
would you explain a little more, please? because i got confuse..
i try to tune cars i like and it might not the best cars so maybe it won’t be on you list :)

Hi Dessi,
Finally!!!! Someone who’s actually reading the posts and asking a decent question!!
Ok… so first: Set the Final Drive = 1.000. Then do a second gear launch and remember where the red needle (the moving rpm indicator) goes to. Most likely the rpm which the red needle is moving to isn’t correct for waht you want. You want the red needle to fall in the red engine overheat zone. So now the aim now is to start changing the second gear ratio so that the red needle will be in the correct place. I tried to explain how to adjust it exactly… but for you… stop thinking… just shave in numbers and try. Try putting in large numbers, and low numbers – see which way the needle moves. Remember that you want the needle to jump straight to the red zone.
After this you can continue with the other tips (i.e. you’ll need to play with the other settings.
Cheers
PS pls message again if this doesn’t make sense.

hello I need the car to tune 1/4 mile for my corvette c6 zr1 need help to improve my time leven lvl 6 and more.
I also need the car for my tune supra mk4 tt for fourth lvl 6 I have it tuned full information need to improve my time quarter-mile in the shortest time possible please help me.

Can you tell me, where can i buy that aston martin you keep talking about. I downloaded the game 2 days ago and there is no aston martin, no audi R8 in the shop. The novitec rosso tune seems to be outdated because my best times with both tunes for 1/2mile are 13,4s. Maybe you should consider an update of your page

Hi Lamacross,
To be honest we’d like the community to chip in and contribute instead. Our post is indeed out of date – because its almost a year old! But even with information provided we’re not sure it helps because we’ve consolidated our information on our Facebook page but people still don’t have the foggiest about where to go to find info.
Cheers

Hi Lian,
Most likely you can’t win because you haven’t got the right tuning. Try following the tuning tips.
The link to our Facebook page is a redirect. Most likely your PC doesn’t like it. Alternatively try clicking on the Facebook link at the top of the page. Use a desktop browser.
Cheers

A Big APOLOGY to those who have been commenting in the last few months – we’ve been busy working on the latest tunes rather than replying to people’s constant barrage of the same questions all the time… We will try and reply asap :)

I use the Chevrolet ZL1 at a Level 3 Pro Racing and get bested maybe 1 out of 4 races.

I use the following upgrades..

Everything maxed out with the exception of nitrous..I use NO NITROUS at all.

My gearing is as follows…

FD = 1.850

1st = 2.704

2nd = 2.074

3rd = 1.759

4th = 1.429

This give me a time of 16.315 in the 1/2 mile race. This might nt seem like much to you but to me it was great since it was my first attempt at the game and have great success with it…It brings me lots of cash and RP.

BUT….lmao

I have a Porsche GT9-R I bought and am playing around with and decided to go with a lower level car and build up to that since the upgrades are rather costly.
